I will be traveling to Manchester, NH on July 12 arriving around 11pm and leaving July 21 in the afternoon. How can I get the cheapest rate? Who offers the best deals? Do you know where I can get some good coupons. I really don’t want to spend over $300 for car rental. The airfare is bad enough.
There is a great selection of car rental coupon codes at http://www.couponheaven.com/subcategory.cfm/103
I see coupons for Avis and Thrifty (which have already been mentioned in other answers), as well as Budget, Enterprise and Dollar.
One way to compare prices is to go to a travel consolidator to get a quote. Try http://www.orbitz.com/ – you will be able to see which company has the lowest pre-coupon rate available. Then, check out a coupon site and go for the bargain!
I love booking car rentals this way! There is generally extra charge to make the reservation, and no cancellation fee (if your plans happen to change).
